Re: What's in a name?

They all call me Nanny except my 18yr old grandaughter. She calls me mum because I have bought her up since the day she was born and she decided I was a mum to her not a nan, so thats what she wanted to call me.

I always used to call my grandparents Nanna and Grandad

Re: What's in a name?

Nice thread - sorry to be late arriving

I have the dilemma NOW. What to call myself and thus have my new princess call me.
I'm quite taken with Nanna ... we'll see
Will my OH like to be Grampfer? I think not - I call him that in jest but I don't think he sees the humour

Re: What's in a name?

I'm nanna to my son's son.... but mamma carol to my daughters kids. It's what their mums wanted them to call me.... I don't mind at all...

Grandma was what I called my own..
